Paddock updates
3 Calandagan - probably one of the best sightings of him; always a plain gelding who doesn’t stand out but very relaxed, very fit

4 Devil's Advocate - busy and walking out well, fit and fine
5 Ombudsman - slender and in fair order although nowhere near the peak of earlier in the season

William Buick told ITV Racing: "He really is [outstanding]. He showed how versatile he is.It can get very tactical and I didn't want to rely on luck - I wanted to make my own. I wanted to show everyone how good he is!
"He's the kind of horse who really gets your heart beating!"
Winning joint-trainer John Gosden added: "William was riding him very confidently and he showed that good turn of foot today. At York he just span his wheels. Rab [Havlin, rider of Devil's Advocate] set nice even fractions and it was a special performance from a special horse."

William Buick told ITV Racing: “Credit to Charlie [Appleby, trainer] and the team, they've done a great job.
“He’s a very smart horse – a slow learner but he’s really come good. It’s lovely to see him reach his full potential – he's finally being able to show what he can do.”
Paddock updates
8 Inis Mor - back to being very on toes in the paddock; would be a concern as had improved
12 Sugar Island - angular and light; always presents this way, but unusually keen, concern

3 Kalpana - in great order again, showing no ill effects from Longchamp
7 Believed - leggy and athletic but getting very warm, concern
1 Coedana - well built filly, has plenty of size and does stand out against some of these who look over the top
6 Tajlina - really catches the eye, very fit after a break
4 Minnie Hauk - hard to make a case for, doesn’t look overly fit and fussing.
5 See The Fire - small and fit, always presents well, typical of her in paddock
11 Sparan Nua - two handlers and very keen, calmer when she ran second at York
13 Symbol Of Majesty - narrow filly, very fit, in good order

“She had more class than them today.”

1 Almeraq - more toey than he has been in the past but nothing of concern; in good order

Tom Marquand told ITV Racing: “He’s a phenomenal horse. He’s proved his versatility. He's a three-time Group 1 winner – all on different ground. I wasn't concerned about the ground, he’s won on good to firm.
“He ran down a pretty tough target there as Paborus got a march on us on the rail. We picked him up in strides at Haydock but today it took half a furlong.
“He’s unreal.”
Paddock updates
4 Gregory - has sharpened up from Newmarket; such a good looking horse, plenty to like
7 Queenstown - impressed at Longchamp, a little more more on edge here, big muscular sort
3 Daiquiri Bay - best sighting all season, has really progressed into a Group horse, notable
8 Quickthorn - has improved considerably for fitness from York, showing far more definition
1 Amiloc - athletic and leggy, okay but others catch the eye far more
6 Opportunity - has taken the eye this season, good looking slender type, lacks the stand out quality in this field
5 Mount Atlas - lacks the quality of some; fit, tends to present in a similar way, fine
10 Amelia Earhart - progressed physically in the second half of the season, has filled into a big strapping filly, no fitness questions
9 Highwayman - looked well, but didn’t stand out in the Leger field, similar comments apply
2 Caballo De Mar - a very difficult horse to judge on paddock, often runs better when not catching the eye. Looks better than Paris.

2nd Queenstown 14/1
3rd Highwayman 7/4 favourite

PJ McDonald told ITV Racing: “This is the place where I want and need to ride winners – I've got more years behind me then ahead! Great to be part of the team, a polite, great team They've got a lot of confidence in me which gives me confidence. I'm very happy to be a small part of a huge team.
“How brave was he in the last furlong? I travelled so well and I was so happy all the way round. I had to let Rossa [Ryan] make his move [on Amiloc], so I switched out and then was lucky enough to switch back in. He responded for me and stuck his head out.”
Paddock updates
1 Adaay Of Scarlett - consistency of presentation has been really key with this horse; has looked fit and well on every start this season
9 Theheatison - doesn’t present like a long shot; shine to the coat, strong and muscular
2 Arapaho Gold - very on toes in the pre-parade; can get keen but this the worse he’s been in recent starts. Would be a concern.

10 Victory Gold - hard fit and catches the eye, strong and slender
3 Confucius - very relaxed, walks well and uses his body as a result, okay but no better
11 Speed Of Sound - big strong type, looks better than when winning at Doncaster but lacks the quality of some.

Winning jockey Charles Bishop said: "I was relieved. I had a lovely run through but the first two just got away from me a little bit. I thought I was running out of time but we got there in the nick of time. This horse is an absolute warrior, he doesn't know how to get beat. Credit to Eve [Johnson Houghton and all her team."
